| tube question for ARC Ref 3 users Mkilpi, what do you think of the Tung-Sol 6550? Is it a Tung-Sol original (50-60's version) or a recent version?I've heard some say that a original Tung-Sol 6550 from the 60's is the way to go, though I haven't experimented yet on my own.Cheers,John | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Hey, you two keep me posted on the 4 ft vs. the 8 ft results. Hey JD, any chance of you moving to Pennsylvania so that I can be you guinea pig instead of John Fox (the other John)? 8-)I do find that my tastes run very similar to both of yours, so ... | |
| Lamm, Cary and Parsifal Encore - what combo? I'm glad you are enjoying the Audio Points and the Symposium Svelte platform. I also feel these are very worthwhile upgrades.While you are at it (playing with the cables), make sure that you replace the stock jumpers with some silver, just for goo... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Hi Audiobuzz, no harm, no foul. No, I haven't heard a longer length of the PAD Dominus in my system. The only speaker cables that I've heard short lengths vs. longer lengths were a pair of Ridge Street Audio Design Poiema!!!, Tara Labs Decade, and... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Audiobuzz, it is hard for me to see if you have some hidden agenda here. Do you have any affiliation with Gabriel cables? You seem to take my comments pretty seriously. I have no affiliation with any manufacturer, and I really do like the Gabriel ... | |
| Lamm, Cary and Parsifal Encore - what combo? Steve, did the tube swapping not work out? I've heard great things about the Stereovox cables, but I haven't heard them myself. I'll be interested in reading your impressions. I heard a demo pair of the Jade Audio Vermeil speaker cables, they soun... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables I currently own a pair of the Hybrid (RCA) and two balanced pairs of the Vermeil. I also own a pair of the Audio Metallurgy GA-0's (RCA) and a pair of Gabriel Gold Revelation speaker cables, as well as some PAD Dominus speaker cables. I've also ha... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Hi Bob,Yes, I appreciate that all opinions are to be respected. I also have the utmost respect for all of Steve's cables, they really do sound fantastic compared to all of the very expensive cables I've heard prior.For your questions, I heard the ... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I should probably chime in here. I've tried a pair of GG Extreme ic's (thanks Art), and I bought a pair of GG Revelation speaker cables, that I've owned for a month. I really do love the GG tonality, it is really spot on. As good as or better than... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? I also run with a 'phantom' center channel. | |
| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system Actually Bart, Mariasplunge is a dude named Peter. | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... I won't be baited into this fiasco again. If MC works for you, enjoy it. I've 'been there, done that' with MC. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but 2-channel, vinyl and tubes rule. :)Peace out,John | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... Tbg, let me say right on. :) | |
| Lamm, Cary and Parsifal Encore - what combo? I currently running a pair of Jeff Rowland Model 6 monoblock amps Steve. Plenty of power, and good bass control. I've long been a fan of the tube preamp/SS amp combo, and currently mate a ARC Ref 3 with the Rowlands. It's quite a nice match. I've ... | |
| Levinson 23.5 vs. 331 amplifiers - warm vs. cool? I believe the older Levinson were biased higher into pure class A. I like the sound of the 23.5 better than the 33X series. All SS gear will sound best if left on all the time, whether it is advisable is up to you pocketbook.John |
